Aim. - Continuous recording of heart rate during specific exercises of judo to investigate some items to inform about physic condition of judokas. Material and methods. - Ten male and ten female were investigated during a specific training of judo. Heart rate is recording continuously and were collected: maximal heart rate during the training and the correspondent exercise during it was observed, then, during each exercise, maximal heart rate, the indicators of acceleration and of recovery at 30 seconds and one minute. A video recording was realised in the same time to evaluate intensity and quality of exercises. Results. - Video recording shows a correlation between a low level of intensity and a low level of heart rate in four judokas. For the others, maximal heart rate during the training is 196 ±7,2/minute. For three judokas, video recording is correct, but the level of heart rate is low and différent from the mevel of the 13 others judokas, what is the diagnostic: bad execution or very good physic condition? In all exercises, maximal heart rate have high level. During the training, indicator of acceleration is diminishing, although indicator of recovery are staying constant. An individual aspect of physiologic comportment during exercises is observed but coach may use it, only if the evaluation of the intensity is ameliorate. Conclusion. - The continuous recording of heart rate is easy during training of judo and it is possible to obtain a curve of heart rate and calculate some items during specific exercises of judo on tatami. The repetition of evaluation during the year may complete for each judoka the laboratory evaluation.
